The water evaporates from all over the world but let’s say it is evaporates from the oceans to form clouds that are moved over land by many of winds. The rainfall then brings it to earth where it will return to oceans by creeks to river‚ and some lakes then back to the

imparted by the presence of dissolved salts‚ especially calcium and magnesium. Hardness refers to how many mineral particles there are in water. The harder the water is‚ higher the contents of minerals. A geologist is a person who specialized in geologic research and study; a hydrologist is a geologist that studies the circulation‚ distribution‚ and properties of the waters of the earth and its atmosphere. A particle is a tiny or small bit. A mineral is any of a class of substances occurring in nature
